Bank of Liberty robbery

The Bank of Liberty robbery occurred in the spring of 2008 when Irish Mob members Patrick McReary, Derrick McReary, Michael Keane, and Niko Bellic robbed the Bank of Liberty in Chinatown, Manhattan, New York City of $1,000,000. The robbers, affiliated with the McReary crime family, used a PE-4 explosive to blow the vault door open, although their plan went awry when a gun club member, Eugene Reaper, gunned down Keane before being killed by the robbers. The NYPD and SWAT were called in to besiege the robbers, but the robbers managed to shoot their way out of the bank, through Chinatown, and down into the subway, killing dozens of policemen and SWAT troopers in a massive shootout. They exited the subway through a service area and managed to lose the police, escaping back to Forest Hills, Queens. Keane's share of the money went to his family, and Derrick McReary was persuaded not to send his share to the Continuity IRA as originally planned, as Patrick McReary convinced him that the cause was finished.
